A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF MY MOMENTUM DAY TRADING PROCESS.

[THREAD]

 A process is just a set of rituals you complete consistently every single day to achieve a certain outcome (profit).

A process requires an edge which is simply a statistical advantage you have over other players. A strong psychological state can be considered a bonus edge.
I believe that trading can be split into three elements:

1) Knowledge and idea generation
2) Method and trade execution
3) Risk management and mindset

Each element is necessary and it builds a solid foundation in your trading process.

These factors make up the trading trinity.
MY SCANNING PROCESS:

In PM, I look for:
- Top gainers (40%+)
- Notable volume on gappers
- News or catalysts (to justify gap)
- Float (<50M)
- Market cap (<500M)
- Range (check daily)
- Price (<25)
- Stock personality (check daily)
- Filings (cash on hand and offering potential)
I like to use websites such as:
- https://t.co/dGrDjwtOR8
- https://t.co/Vc256oZCre
- https://t.co/AFrA2ebGr6
- https://t.co/N9nDmqz54E

- https://t.co/K5b5oercFQ

Usually, I’m left with ~5 stocks in a warm market. I make 2 stocks my main watches and the rest are on the back burner.

I hone in on my top 2.

Also, I have any names that have had momentum and held trend in the prior days as back burner watches since they may see continuation.
Next, I go through all of the charts for the stocks that I’m interested in.

I want to identify:
- Prior ranges (since I believe stocks will trade in ranges until they breakout/down)
- Key levels from the daily
- PML and PMH

Also, I take note of the trend and the 50 and 200 SMA.
MY TRADE SETUP:

INDICATORS:
- 9 EMA = Red
- 20 EMA = Light Blue
- 50 SMA = Yellow
- 200 SMA = Green
- VWAP = Purple
- Volume Bars

TIME FRAMES:
- 5 Minute
- 1 Minute
- 1 Day
My entries will vary depending on price action and the likelihood of a stock coming down to my level.

I prefer to dip buy most of the time because breakout trades require a certain market condition.

I try add as close to major key levels as possible for low risk/high reward.
I don’t know exactly what level a stock will come to so I monitor which range they’re current trading in and I assume they continue trading there.

When it comes down to a channel line or key level. I look to see if price respects that level for an entry with risk just beneath.
If price does end up respecting that level then I will take an entry with risk just beneath the level.

I don’t breakout add unless the market is hot. I would rather for a breakout and re-test and get my adds there.

I flick between the 1m and 5m and I mainly watch candle bodies.
Alternatively, I will play more seasonal strategies and chart patterns which require their own set of rules.

Seasonal strategies are simply strategies that are high probability given the current market conditions.

*I go through and explain some strategies in my pinned tweet.
I do take into consideration supply and demand but I may not draw zones instead I try to have a key level to cover a point in the zone.

I constantly assess sentiment and I always ask myself: “Who’s in control and who’s stuck?”.

This helps me better understand the price action.
I’m selective when it comes to picking my stocks and I’m averse when it comes to taking on big risks.

I love asymmetrical bets where risk/reward and probability is skewed heavily in my favor.

I have a max pain of 10% on a trade and I will risk <2.5% of my account on a trade.
When it comes to position size, I like to go heavy since my downside risk is minimal and I will quickly cut for a paper cut loss. Also, I will move my stops to break-even after a leg up.

You can calculate position size by:

Max risk / (Entry price - Stop price) = Position size
It goes without saying but my risk levels are set around key technical or psychological levels.

I believe these levels to be potential pivot points so I’m really strict at cutting my losses because if I carry on holding then price is likely to flush.

I don’t hold bags!
When it comes to scaling, I have different approaches…

Either I will:

1) Scale most (50%+) on the first target and move my stop to entry
2) Let the stock work and only scale out small amounts (~10%) at key resistances and ride the trend based on the 20 EMA on the 5m
At the end of the day, I close out all of my positions since I’m a day trader.

However, I take note of runners that remain strong and AH movers depending on their action and their close.

I will chart these names when market closes. I keep them on back burner watch the next day.
This is simply my style and strategy that suits my lifestyle and my personality.

It’s what I find consistency, repeatability and profitability in.

It works for me but it may not work for you.

You can take this thread as a guideline and adapt it to fit your way of trading.
Another thing is I’ve recently been using ADR% as a metric to determine range.

Ideally, I want an ADR% of 10+ because I’m interested in explosive momentum moves.

Also, you always want to keep an eye on volume. You don’t want volume to fall off a cliff for a trade you’re in.
As for my trading rules, here are a list of 15 principles that I live by:
It’s not rocket science whatsoever.

Keep things simple and be able to do them time and time again with ease.

There’s no need to make things complex and sophisticated when they don’t need to be.

It’s better to have something straightforward where you just need to execute well.
Also, a big shoutout to @MullinsMomentum, @Tuckerbrees, @RocketCatchnBob, @bear_fuker and @singlesdoubles because they have heavily influenced my trading style and they have helped me find a niche in day trading.

In many ways, my strategy is inspired and derived from their own.

Here’s FIVE Trading lessons I’ve learned after blowing Two trading accounts

I’ve found consistency in this market after learning these lessons. I really hope someone out there can relate to some of these lessons and become a better trader ✍️

Lesson 1: Journal Everyday 📓

Write down every single trade that you take. How did you feel when you were in this trade? What type of trade was it? Did you follow your system? What time did you take the trade?

If you aren’t big on writing use @tradersync

Going back and reading your trading journal will show you what works best for YOU. It will show you what time of the day do you normally kill it and what type of trades have a higher win rate. From there you discard what isn’t working and implement what is working.

Lesson 2: Have patience

Of course you need to have patience waiting for clean set ups, but the biggest thing you need to have patience with is this journey!

It takes real time and effort to build skill. That same approach you had waiting 4 years to attain a degree is the approach you need in trading. You jump in the game and see crazy P&L’s left and right, but you don’t see all the time and effort traders put into this.

I'm often asked how one should study a market, so here are some thoughts:

Studying a market is different, from learning how to trade.

Learning how to trade includes everything from managing risk to managing yourself.

Studying a market is simply the process of looking for an edge.

Once you have identified an edge, you still have to learn to trade it.

The best way to study a market is to watch it as closely as you can but always using a frame of reference.

You should pick a frame of reference and exhaust its possibilities.

For example, you could use a time-based approach.

You could study how the market moves at certain times of the day, week or month.

I knew of one trader who made his money (and he made a lot of it) by studying specifically how the ES behaved at the end of each month. His entire edge was created around this.

I know of another successful trader who focused exclusively on the 8am open in FTSE futures.

🎲 How to play trigger watchlists 🎲

1. How/When to enter:

This is NOT an exact science, there is no way to avoid fakeouts. These are KEY levels, and for that reason, provide strong moves. However, they can be hard to break due to their significance. You must manage risk.

There are two strategies I follow.
a) Conservative: Wait for a 5 minute candle to close through the trigger level. Ex: if an $AMD put trigger is under 100 and 5 minute candle closes at 10:45AM at 99.85, take the position.

b) Risky: Playing the first sign of follow through. Ex: $AMD closes 5m candle at 10:45AM at 100.15 - No trigger. At 10:47AM, $AMD fails 100 support and closes 10:47 1m candle at 99.80. I would likely take a position off of key support failure.

2. Fakeouts/Stop losses

Taking losses is inevitable in trading. Our job is to minimize them. My rule here is -10% hard stop loss because you can always re-add the position.

Suppose you take a position from Ex a) $AMD immediately reverses and closes 10:50 5m candle at 110.15…

Your position is red, likely down ~10%. Cut the loser and reassess. Your reason for playing was the 100 breakdown, it is now INVALID. As soon as your thesis becomes invalid, cut, take a deep breath, reassess, watch.

How you can filter stocks for Intraday trades - 🧵

As a kid, we would do homework before school the next day - you have to do homework here too. A specific sector performs on a particular day and studying things a day before will help you spot that particular sector. (1/11)

To prepare for the next trading day, you got to check the Index charts of all sectors. You got to keep an eye on a specific Index if you see a few factors:

- If any Index closed exactly at the resistance, you can get a trade on either side on the next day. (2/11)

- If it gave a rejection candle at resistance.

- If any Index closed exactly at support, you can get a trade on either side the following day.

- If there was a bullish signal at the support.

- If any Index gave a breakout or breakdown and then gave a good closing. (3/11)

- If any Index has taken support at 50 or 200 EMA.

Once you spot the Index, look at all the stocks in that particular Index. Pick at least 3-4 stocks from that Index and add them to your watchlist for the next day. It's ideal to check both higher and lower timeframes. (4/11)

What you should do next day? (When I am unable to check Indices and stocks a day before, I sometimes directly start with this process.)

- Start with checking the top gainers/losers list. I observe market from 9:15 to 9:45am to check the sectors performing well on that day.(5/11)

The 2020s will be known as the Remote Work decade

A few predictions of what is likely to emerge

[ a thread ] 💻🏠🌍

🏦Third Space: Office and Working from Home will be joined by somewhere close by that a number of people will use

Supermarkets or local bank branches should emerge as a convenient ubiquitous location option – if they are smart

⏰Asynchronous Work: Offices are instantaneous gratification distraction factories where synchronous work makes it impossible to get stuff done

Tools that enable asynchronous work are the most important thing globally remote teams need. A lot of startups will try to tackle this

⚽️Hobbie Renaissance: Remote working will lead to a rise in people participating in hobbies and activities which link them to people in their local community

This will lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships which overcome societal issues of loneliness and issolation

🚜Rural Living: World-class people will move to smaller cities, have a lower cost of living & higher quality of life

These regions must innovate quickly to attract that wealth. Better schools, faster internet connections are a must
